Installation and Operation Manual - Stratford II
ENGLISH
Do not use combustible materials for the
frame directly above the fireplace. This area
should remain empty to a height of 80" (2.03 m)
measured from the base of the fireplace.
Build the fireplace frame using vertical studs placed
on the sides of the fireplace, from the floor to the
ceiling. The studs must be set back from the front
edge of the fireplace by a space equivalent to the
thickness of the finishing material, so that it is flush
with the finish of the fireplace. Headers between
studs should be installed as follows:
− The headers must be 2" x 3" (5 cm x 8 cm) or 2" x 4"
(5 cm x 10 cm). Do not put wood or other material in
the area above the fireplace.
− Install only the cripple studs needed to support the
finishing material and mantle.
WARNING : DO NOT FILL THE REQUIRED EMPTY SPACE INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE WITH
INSULATION OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL.
The fireplace must not be in contact with any insulation
or loose filling material. Inside the chase, around the
fireplace, insulation should be covered with drywall
panels or any other finishing material except where non-
combustible material is required.
